rough in my early 20s one of my good friends was a girl a couple years younger than me probably 19 to 21 at the time and younger looking she started dating an older guy probably 40s who seemed nice enough so we didn't sweat him he had something go tits up on his computer virus or Hardware failure and she asked if I could help him save his data and fix his computer sure I can throw a couple hours in for a friend and he seems super grateful just save as much as you can well I got

his documents music some vacation photos his dozens of teen internet bookmarks and his court documents for statutory grape yay pretty sure I wasn't supposed to see those last two we had this yearly festival at my school when I was in Middle School I was at one of the game tents with my friends and I saw the aen worker not so subtly hand another teen worker a bag of white powder it happened pretty fast and no one else saw it so I was kind of confused if I saw what I thought I saw my friend told

me the following Monday that our teacher caught the kids doing drugs after the festival sexually explicit messages on my fiance's phone to another man edit as I stated below I did end up going through with the wedding I know not everyone commenting on this thread would have done the same thing but let me explain something to you cheating is one of the worst things you can do to someone and I know after she did it she no longer deserved my love I know my selfworth I'm not stupid but I don't believe cheating is past forgiveness

it took me a long time to forgive her but she fought tooth and nail to show me that her mistake was forever in the past we've been married 3 years now and life really couldn't be better back in the day I would try to download anime episodes and Clips off of peer- toer services this was I the days of kazah before people widely recognized that peer-to-peer programs were hives of illegal videos and I'm one of the kids who was introduced to all sorts of disturbing stuff this way the worst though was a small clip of

a in girl late teens 20 at the most it was only about 10 seconds long but at about the 6sec Mark about the time I was sighing and saying U of course this isn't Goku someone shot her in the head I hadn't even noticed the gun at her Temple until her skull was shred to Pieces every once in a while I remember that and it makes me wonder who she was who mourned her and what sort of sick person films that edit lots of folks are saying the video might have been a fake even a

well-known one I sure hope so 10-year-old R me didn't know that of course it didn't mess with me too badly but I never got the thought of how blood in the movies is never quite a dark enough red out of my mind when I worked at my previous employer I was the network admin and CIS admin for our test Network and test machines we used to build an online commodity trading application when I investigated why the network was so slow I discovered one user was using half the T1 for Napster traffic I remotely mapped to

his home drive to see what he was downloading and discovered a huge cache of music and adult tapes I I saw something similar to what you did and it still haunts me to this day I don't know if I wasn't supposed to see this as I can't figure out any reasoning behind this Beyond maybe exhibitionism though really I don't want to put exhibitionists in the same group as this couple because goodness gracious I had a patient who was close to death and we called her daughter she came and we set her up in the room

to stay until her mother passed she brought her boyfriend which is not abnormal I walked in to do my routine check and they were having sex on the cop that was set up for her maybe 15 ft from her dying mother I mostly didn't want to see so I'm answering this wrong what the [ __ ] that's just wrong oh I agree I freaked a bit they were both thrown out by my supervisor though I wasn't sure what the appropriate response was her mother was dying so I thought maybe just turning a blind I would

be better so the patient wouldn't be alone I didn't know the relationship but I'm still unsure of the appropriate response I did stay with the patient till the end and I hope she found her peace I still can't comprehend the daughter 's actions borrowed my Dad's camera found out he was gay what was the evidence specifically gay stuff the salaries of everyone working at the company I was working at it was a smaller startup digital Ad Agency with about 60 employees total and someone from HR was making copies of a document that listed everyone's salary

and left the original on the glass of The copier I found it and turned it back in but not before went through the list to see what everyone else made and discovered that a couple new hirers working the same position as me were making more than me so after turning it in I met with my manager and used my newfound knowledge to my advantage to successfully negotiate for a raise along with a tacit promise that I wouldn't divulge what I knew to anyone else in the company happened to me one I was bored so was

browsing through the network shares on a PC we used to store machine recipes found a spreadsheet with everyone's paid details overtime Etc so I emailed the guy and told him it probably should be at least passworded and for my trouble I was threatened with being fired for hacking nice I found invitations to my big surprise 18th birthday just lying on the floor a few weeks before the event I had to act surprised when the time came to walk through the door to the party which I did the only thing is my twin brother also knew

which I didn't know at the time and let's just say his acting skills are really bad so we both found out in different ways about the surprise party but neither of us knew that that we found out about it so when I walked through the door for the surprise I could tell from his reaction that he knew a while back someone posted a video of a father singing to his baby in the NQ after an emergency C-section the baby had been taken out early because the mom has died unexpectedly overnight the baby died shortly after

after I watched that I felt like I had intruded eye on someone's private moment with her child and that I was not supposed to see that I filter the links I click on a lot more carefully now I hope that man has found a way to begin his healing edit for those asking yes it's the man singing Blackbird damn that is rough a local Guy where I live lost his mother wife and all three of their children in a bad car accident recently they interviewed him during one of the Court proceedings during the driver who

didn't die and is being charged with DUI vehicle homicide this was months later maybe six or so he was absolutely defeated where he was once a vibrant proud young father crushed me in a similar way as your story my dad's Alcoholic Anonymous chips learned it's why my parents got divorced proud of him for being in recovery though why were you not supposed to see that I'm an alcoholic Anonymous and everyone I know displays their chip openly in nonprofessional situations some even display it openly in professional situations I have never heard of someone hiding it my

dad is not one of those people he comes from an upper class family and is an attorney so in his Circle it's just just not something people talk about much leaving work late one evening I saw the HR Director and CFO in a dark office shredding papers no that's not an euphemism I didn't say anything but quietly walked on down the hall 2 weeks later we were raided by the SEC and several people were charged with cooking the books man he was even shredding in the dark how'd he get caught too little too late we

were already under investigation and the FEDS already had the goods on the company by the time the C sweet started trying to cover their tracks I was a peon in it and never had a clue that the trajectory of the feces was about to intercept the coordinates of the multi-bladed atmospheric agitator did you have to testify that you saw them destroying documents no I was interviewed by a very large and intimidating agent but since I didn't know what the papers actually were I couldn't provide any evidence for or against when I was in my late

teens I was sitting with a friend in his car at a set of traffic lights about 3:00 a.m. on a quiet street in the city at the next set of lights ahead which was maybe 30 m away I saw a guy walk up to the car waiting for the lights to change he extended his arm and fired a shot almost Point Blank Range at the passenger window before quickly walking off we sat there in shock for a minute thinking did we just [ __ ] see what we thought we saw while the car sat there

through two more light changes before slowly rolling away no other cars were on the street at the time the next day I saw on the news some dude from a gang called the Assyrian Kings was shot at in the head in a car and died right around where we were the night before we never said [ __ ] about it to anyone as we decided we didn't want to get involved being paranoid teenagers found out a relative who everyone believes to be Filthy Rich and always throws extravagant parties put his kids in expensive private schools

his wife shopping and eating fine dining is broke in closets declaring bankruptcy he's in deep debt and that he hasn't paid his bills in months and from what I could see he owes a lone shark too now every time I see him post an invite to my mom I cringe at the thought of him owing more money my mom knows but I never told her she just knows one of my uncles was this type of guy always had new cars and the nicest things he started playing guitar in his 40s and instantly bought three of

my dream guitars at the time he couldn't adequately Play Smoke on the Water but he owned probably $7,000 worth of guitars even after playing for almost 20 years my most expensive guitar is probably only worth $1,300 still still a great instrument though a few years later I helped him and my cousins move into a new house turns out over the 30 years they had owned it he had taken multiple lines of credit out on the house and had three mortgages somehow on it he owed over a million dollar on a $350,000 house and was foreclosed

on he had to declare bankruptcy and my aunt divorced him shortly after they couldn't pay for the rental they moved into apparently he had hidden the extensive debt from her by opening separate accounts crazy stuff man back in the 1980s I had cut myself at work and needed a few stitches in my hand the company I worked for sent me to a clinic they had a contract with to handle non-emergency medical stuff like that while sitting in the waiting room waiting to see the doctor an ambulance pulled up to the front door and EMTs went

running inside with a stretcher a few minutes later they wheeled an older man outside and the guy was obviously passed away not breathing at all turned out the guy had walked in off the street complaining of chest pain and keeled over in the exam room while talking to the doctor when I was 11 I walked into my mom's bedroom and saw my mom and her husband doing a 69 we never spoke about it years later when I was 24 she walked into my bedroom and saw my BF naked with a boner we never spoke about

that either I wish that were the case with my parents my mom walked in on me and my GF [ __ ] and I got kicked out of the house and Mom got drunk for the first time in her life she allowed me back in the next day but was scared she wouldn't that whole night didn't sleep until 6:00 in the morning one a used laptop for my female friend in a bet she had a bunch of nudes on it edit a lot of people are asking what the BET was I drank a pot of

bernes for it she was pretty drunk while making the bet but I came around next morning to collect cause I didn't drink that pot of bernes for nothing if anybody wants to know how to drink a pot of Beres you just pretended soup also stop pming me asking for the nudes I deleted them as soon as I saw them this was no accident people always say that but one time I was changing phones at the T-Mobile store and we had to take a screenshot of my last AT&T bill for reimbursement purposes and when I opened

up my photos app there's some sexy time photos that I had legitimately forgotten about from the week before guy at the store definitely saw some of them while my wife and I were sitting there right in front of them and we totally did not mean for him too bad stuff I saw a car get shot up one time good stuff discovering poorly hidden Christmas and birthday presents my like third job I had at 17 was at a pizza place I had two managers one male one female and they were both married to other people well

I went to hand in my drawer at the end of one shift and walked into the office and there they were just making out with some heavy petting their spouses found out they left their families and then those two managers got married to each other as far as I know they're still together edit I am getting a lot of people sending me messages that are insulting me for having my third job by 17 like wow I didn't realize all you redditors were so accomplished by 17 but my first job was detasseling like many other kids

in my small Midwestern town then I worked concessions at an outdoor pool once again Midwestern town so this outdoor pool was only open during the summer so then by 17 I needed another job and thus I arrived at the door of a Pizza Hut also no I didn't tell their families I was 17 I didn't even know these people's spouses their families found out because they told them themselves because they both wanted divorces from their respective spouses when I was about 16 I was snooping in my parents wardrobe found a diary written by my mother

when she was 14 from the year 1970 read some beautiful and brilliantly written entries about meeting and dating my dad who was 16 at the time had to read a little between the lines in some slightly later entries as they were written with such flowery language in one such entry all of a sudden she discloses that she's had an abortion performed by my grandfather an anesthesiologist she never told anyone I found a letter between my parents back when my dad was in the Army 10 years before I was born when cleaning out the house he

was saying how they should get a divorce because it just wasn't seeming to work out when I was 16 they did end up getting a divorce I've never talked to them about it if it makes you feel any better there was a time my husband and I talked about divorce we were long distance and hadn't see each other in about 8 months that [ __ ] will wear on you it scared me when I first read it this was a few months ago so it's been a while since they have been separated big I just

can't talk to them about it I will one day I was 14 and on a walk with my mom we were walking around a lake and decided to take a woodsy shortcut rather than having to walk out onto estate roads the shortcut like I said is woodsy but there's still some Lake cabins and a dirt road back there anyways we're going through on the dirt road and there is a car parked in the middle of it not particularly close to any of the cabins as we pass it by we glance in the windows out of

curiosity and see a 20-some girl and guy going at it in the back seat when my mom realizes this she quickly pushes me on ahead which bummed me because I wanted to be a dick and tap on the window and wave hello with a big grin my principal bribed off an inspector and he saw me see him we made I contact for 10 seconds and I didn't say anything no one knows edit people are saying this is fake bribes are something natural in Romania and I did exaggerate with the 10 seconds lull but we did

make ey contact what you guys need to understand is that this is happening in a third world country in a school in which most of the kids have a record I am pretty smart but don't get me wrong the school and class I was in was a bad one I was the smartest of the stupidest you can say my nine that was my grade would have been a five or six in another school but my grades did inflate a bit from 8.23 to 9.47 don't believe if you don't want but I telling you all I

know when I was 17 my friend lent me her phone to see her pictures she forgot the nude she had taken for draw herself I had a crush on her so I couldn't ignore them and just said wow she was by my side so I could saw her face turning red update I had her phone because I was seeing pictures of a party we had days ago I am sorry to disappoint you but nothing happened happened I just gave her back the phone in that moment she was in a relationship and months after I tried

but was in the friend zone we are still friends and both have relationships with different persons not each other I tend to have a way of finding things out that I'm not supposed to do to my inquisitive nature but one that comes to mind was when I left my last job my general manager wasn't exactly a warm woolly person and was not pleased that I was leaving I had to get something out of the manager's office and saw my name in an email on the desk she had told the other two managers to wish me

the best of luck in my future career and that I would be missed I was shocked because she actually took the time to send it out to them never heard that from any of them but seeing it showed that she actually cared happened to a friend of mine she was dating this dude forever they broke up and he moved out she was devastated about a month later she was cleaning out old stuff and found a receipt for a ring that he had bought for her and never given her that's how she found out that he

had once intended to to propose before he fell out of love with her she was hurt pretty bad about that that happened to me I can tell you it isn't a lot of fun for the guy either the day I returned that ring was not great years ago I was hanging out at a bar a drop- dead gorgeous lady walked in and we ended up playing a few rounds of pool together then another guy kind of invited himself to our table it's a bar so it's not unusual for that to happen after a while the

girl asks if we want to go over to her place place to keep the party going naturally we both agree and follow her to her house when I walked in I immediately knew that she was living with another man I asked her who else lived there and she said my husband but don't worry he's not here she was pretty flirty at the bar so I knew where things were going I told her that I couldn't be a part of this and left the other guy was on her pretty much as soon as I turned to

leave as soon as I backed out of the driveway and started down the street a car came around the corner I saw that it was a guy when we passed and and when I checked my rear view mirror I saw him pulling into the driveway that I just left other dude's truck was still parked there I'm thinking that was probably the husband I never saw the girl or the other guy again so I don't know what happened I'm just glad that I wasn't a part of it worked for a downtown Metropolitan Hotel for a long

time and I've seen a lot I wasn't supposed to see probably the worst was a kid with an old man check this guy in at like 1:00 in the morning not uncommon because people travel tea different times s but he was alone like an hour later he asked for something like a towel or blanket anyways dispatched our runner to deliver it after the Runner comes to me and says he thinks something is wrong because he caught a glimpse of someone and the old guy was trying hard to block the entrance being that we were supposed

to take stuff like human trafficking seriously I asked our maintenance to cut his power so we would get a call to come up to try and fix the problem he does and I go up with him to apologize for the inconvenience because the guy was also a top tier member sure enough we hear a kid in the back bathroom hiding tried to ask who the kid was and the old guy tried everything to shut us down from throwing his status around to bribing called the cops and let them deal with it edit didn't expect this

to gain so much traction here's are some additional info for people that have been asking I don't recall the specific charge or if I was even told so use your imagination I don't know the age of the child I only saw him briefly one time when the cops showed up I don't know the age of the guy this was in Southern California as specific as I'd like to be did you end up finding out what the story was sort of I had the next two nights off was called in my last day to meet a

detective to take my statement with HR and a lawyer from the hotel chains legal team talked to the cop a bit afterwards and she told me to just kind of keep quiet about it all because I could be called to testify if there was a trial never ended up getting called but for a few months I would run the old man's name through our in-house system to see if there were any company notes on his account took like 2 months but his status was revoked and his name popped up on our DNR do not rent

list so didn't learn specifics but learned it was bad enough for me to talk to Cops and be prepared to testify if needed why wouldn't he just lie and say it was his child or grandchild and just walk in with them like it was no big deal before I worked in hotels I was in the military I was military police my biggest bus during that time was underage drinking all I can tell you is that some people just think rules don't apply to them or like I mentioned in another response some of these work workers

are relying on this job to support family or something like that so it's easy for some people to just bully and get away with things because they know workers won't jeopardize their job [Music]
